Variations Ideas:

• Seasoning – You could also add a little garlic powder, boullion cube, or fresh herbs such as thyme or parsley. It will give this round steak crock pot recipe so much flavor.
• Change Meat – You could also use top sirloin steak, pot roast or chuck roast instead of round steak. We have even made crock pot steak bites for an easy meal idea.
• Add Veggies – Slice some Bell peppers and add them in the slow cooker as well. It would even make a delicious stir fry by adding in mushrooms.
• Sauce Addition – Soy Sauce and Brown Sugar is also a great way to season crock pot steak. Eliminate the A1 sauce, and add these instead. You can also add in Worcestershire Sauce, beef broth or beef stock.
• Seasoning Packets – I use fresh onions, but you can use a package of onion soup mix, brown gravy mix or au jus gravy mix.

Step by Step Instructions:

• Step 1 – Prepare slow cooker by spraying with cooking spray.
• Step 2 – Put the sliced onions in the bottom of the crock pot.
• Step 3 – Then add the steaks right on top of the onions.
• Step 4 – Use a small bowl and combine the vinegar and A-1. Whisk this together and pour all over the steaks.

• Step 5 – Sprinkle steak seasoning on the steaks.

• Step 6 – Let the slow cooker do the work. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. The cooking times will vary depending how thick your steaks are and how full your slow cooker is.
• Step 7 – While you can cook these on high for reduced time, I suggest cooking on low for longer. Since you are using a cheaper cut of meat, they will be more tender the longer and slower you cook them.
• Step 8 – Now salt and pepper to taste. Make sure to top each serving with onions. That is our favorite part.

Recipe Tips:

• Make Gravy – If you want to make a gravy out of the both. Add a little corn starch once finished cooking to thicken it.
• Browned the Meat – In this recipe, we let the slow cooker do all the work. There is no need to brown the meat before adding it to the crock pot.
• Combining Ingredients – We recommend combining the sauce together in a small bowl before adding to the slow cooker. This mix sure everything is fully combined.
• Cooking Time – Cooking time will vary based on your the size of your steak and slow cooker. We do recommend cooking on low.

What to Serve with Crock Pot Steak Recipe:

• Potatoes– You can dice potatoes and make a foil pack on top of the steak in the crock pot. We also like these easy to make microwave potatoes and mashed potatoes.
• Roasted Green beans – These green beans turn out easy and delicious. You will love the flavor and they can be seasoned many different ways.
• Salad – My favorite is Caesar Salad.
• Steamed Broccoli– Steamed broccoli is my go-to side dish with many different recipes.
• Cauliflower Rice – If you are trying to eat low carb, cauliflower rice is a very good side dish for the keto diet.
